In a confluence of American hallmarks on Thursday night, the nation's pastime met the nation's symbol. Claws and all.

Seattle Mariners pitcher James Paxton was visited by a bald eagle as he warmed up before his start against the Minnesota Twins for the Twins' home opener.

Paxton was standing alone in the outfield prior to the start of the national anthem when a bald eagle, brought in for a flight across a giant American flag during pre-game ceremonies, found a landing spot on the Paxton’s back.

Harris County Sheriff Mike Jolley has a message for visitors: the citizens are armed, and if you commit murder in his county, well, the citizens might just kill you back themselves.

Jolley posted a sign outside his department warning visitors that Harris County residents have concealed weapons - and would use them. "If you kill someone, we might kill you back," the sign reads. "We have ONE jail and 356 cemeteries. Enjoy your stay!"

Yup, you got that right Bernie! However, your Socialist Party has been a failure for much longer than that!

Sen. Bernie Sanders (pictured) told a town hall in Mississippi on Wednesday that the Democratic Party “has been a failure” for the past 15 years.

Asked how the Democrats could harness the power of millennial turnout to re-energize the party, Sanders slammed Democrats’ performance in the 21st century.

“The business model for the Democratic Party for the last fifteen years or so has been a failure,” he said. “Over the last ten years, Democrats have lost about 1,000 seats in state legislatures all across this country.”

The socialist senator called for Democrats to contest red states, pointing out that many states like Mississippi are completely controlled by Republicans. But the Democratic establishment is resisting a party that would appeal to everyone in the country, he said.

Sanders has attacked the Democratic Party in the past, even though he may seek the party’s presidential nomination again in 2020.
